1 I’ve been working as a professional clown(小丑）for nearly two years.Before that,I was an actor for nine years.I was never famous,but I was quite successful!I changed jobs because I wanted to do more in life than make people laugh.What if I could help people,too?As a clown,I try to encourage sick chileren in hospital to laugh and smile.When you laugh,your mind and body relax.Clearly,people who laugh more don’t have as many colds or other problems!Children who laugh a lot often get better results in their studies,too.It isn’t an easy job.Not all sick children get better,and sometimes I come home and cry.But I always go back to work the next day with my red nose on.I don’t earn much money as a clown, but I feel very lucky to work with such brave,wonderful patients.

2 I became a laughter yoga(瑜伽）teacher more than two years ago.Before that,I was a dentist!My job was very difficult,and I used to feelfed up.Now I still improve people’s health,but everything else is completely different.Everyone has fun in a laughter yoga class,including the teacher!No,laughter isn’t “magic”.It doesn’t prevent all illness,keep you young,or make you beautiful.But did you know that isn’t ana excellent kind of exercise?You move your whole body when you laugh!Sometimes I worked with famous people.It’s true that being rich can be stressful!Some famous people can be unpleasant at times,but I try to change their bad feelings.Laughter is excellent for people like musicians,artists and writers,because it helps people to be more creative.

C.he wants to be a successful man D.he wishes to help people

BHow quickly can you count from on to ten?Do you use ten different words to do it?Can you do it in English,or do you have to use your first languages?Do you count on your fingers?Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world.But scientists have discovered that it is not true.People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers.In the United States,people think begin counting with their first fingers,which they extend or stick out.They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(拇指）to count to five.Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten.In China,people count by using different finger positions.In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.Besides ways of finger counting,scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers.Some languages have only a few words for numbers,and others have no words for numbers.A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的）people in Australia.These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers.They don’t even have word for numbers.However,they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.In a similar study,researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe(部落） in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three.”.They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees,” “more trees,” or “many trees.” Professor Edward Gibson said that mist people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count.They could learn,but is’t not useful in their culture,so they’ve never picked it up.”Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量）,not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting.Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives.Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math,too.

The writer begins with the four questions in order to______.

make a survey B.interest readers

C.tell a story D.solve math problems
